Introduction of the Organization
‘Jashpur Jan Vikas Sanstha, Gholeng’ (JJVS) is a non - government organization. It had its humble beginning with its Founder member Ms. Mamta Kujur. After completing her post graduation she strongly felt the need to work for tribal community. She went to the villages and met people and created awareness on the social issues of the tribal community while trying to understand the issues of community members. She had strong passion to work for the tribal community therefore she with her team, government officers, likeminded people and other social persons came together and started the organization “Jashpur Jan Vikash Sanstha” which is registered under the Society Registration Act of 1973/44, dated 01/02/2003 in Chhattisgarh and under Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 1976, Registration No. 327580029 with Nature: - Cultural Ms. MAMTA KUJUR Educational Social, in 2009. The organization has its main focus on Socio-economic development of the people of Jashpur based on Socio –Cultural awareness and Empowerment. It also aims for the integrated development of the tribal community. The organization received the FCRA in 2009. At present JJVS is working in 57 Panchayats of four blocks of Jashpur district, Chhattisgarh, Sl.no JJVS Working Areas No with the help of different Funding organizations, on various issues such as Tribal 1 Block 4 rights, implementation of government scheme, PESA, forest rights, Child rights and human 2 Panchayat 57 trafficking, CBO empowerment, women empowerment and social issues – Alcohol, 3 Villages 60 violence against women etc. During the course of its work the organization 4 Communities 14 realized that to work on right base it is difficult due to the political pressure. Therefore the organization mobilized a mass movement of tribal women and formed a federation of women named AMMS (Adivasi Mahila Maha Sang) to raise the political issues and fight for the rights and entitlement of the community. Now, under the banner of AMMS many right based activities are done. One of the major issues of tribal community here in Jashpur District is human trafficking. With the help of UNICEF, JJVS is working for the prevention of human trafficking from last three year since 2012 in fourteen selected Panchayats of four Blocks of Jashpur District, Chhattisgarh.
JJVS GHOLENG, C.G Page 1
According to the survey report conducted in 2012 – 2014, 227 Children were missing from the targeted area of 14 panchayats of Bagicha,Duldula, Jashpur and Manora. They had no contact with the family members. Through the continuous sensitization and community mobilization at various levels with the support of Unicef now most of the children returned back and those who are still outside they are now in touch with the family members. Only 11 Children are now missing from the targeted area. Missing children have been reported to police station. These 11 are missing from home for many years and now all are above 18years of age. Still many children are missing from the remote villages of Jashpur and surrounding districts of Surguja Division of Chhattisgarh. Background Jashpur district of Chhattisgarh is tribal belt where majority of population is of tribal community. Poverty, often cited as a major reason responsible for trafficking in children, is not the only cause. Loss of traditional sources of livelihood, growing unemployment, forced migration, and growing consumerism resulting from globalization have all contributed to the increase in child trafficking. The socio-economic situation and geographical location of the family add to the vulnerability. Jashpur district of Chhattisgarh is rich in natural available recourses, the land is fertile and forest products are in abundance. But the management of the available natural recourses is the major concern of the area, which is adding to the poverty of the community. Consumption of alcohol is high prevalence in the area which too has the contribution to the problem. Children are not given proper attention and guidance by the parents. Violence at the family specially, violence against women has added reason to the problem. Average literacy rate of Jashpur district of Chhattisgarh is 67.92 percent as per census 2011. Male and Female literacy for the same is 77.32 percent and 58.61 respectively. The project will cover the existing areas inhabited by Oraon tribes as well as other backward castes (OBCs). Additionally this will also concentrate on the Primitive tribes of Bagicha block, of Jashpur District. Education rate of Pahari Korwas of Bagicha is very low, which shows that people are not aware about benefits of education. Only a handful of children are attending the schools. Education is being gradually commercialized in and around the area. Many private schools are being open with high charges and giving quality education. Thus private schools have become the icon of quality education in this district.
JJVS GHOLENG, C.G Page 2
Whereas in every panchayat there are government schools up to primary or upper primary schools. But again the quality education and basic facilities are not up to the mark. The ownership of the schools by the community is very poor. SMC (School Management Committee) is only in paper. They have no idea about their roles and responsibilities. Strengthening and building their capacity is a major concern. When the children of these remote schools after completing the upper primary school go for the high school they are unable to cope up with their studies and they dropout. Thus eventually they become vulnerable to or victims of trafficking. However the government of Chhattisgarh is trying its best to provide quality education in the school, yet it needs major push. Lack of job opportunity and poor implementation of government schemes in and around the area are another factor which are leading to trafficking. People are ignorant and due to lack of awareness about the schemes they have very little access. Natural resources are in abundance but realization, ownership and management is very poor. The market values of the locally available natural resources are not understood. Community members lack knowledge on processing of natural resources for marketing. Youths from Tikul and Galondah Panchayat of Jashpur Block are seasonally migrating to Andhra pradesh every year to work in the sea, catching fish. They are working with minimum wedges’ and facilities. Fortunately till now no one has been trafficked and missing. But there is every chance of becoming victims of trafficking. Creating livelihood opportunity at the community can be the solution of the problem. Over the year it has been seen that the crime rate in increasing in these two panchayat. Youth are getting involved in antisocial activities. The possible reasons as given by the elders of the community are being the border area impact of Jharkhand, seasonal migration and lack of guidance. Some of the social practices of the community also adding to the problem of trafficking. Alcoholism and other harmful social norms, broken families/discord, bitch hunting high elopement rate etc. Lack of guidance from the parents and fulfilling their moral responsibility is also the cause of the problem. Tribal community is a open community some are misunderstood its holistic meaning, very often traffickers take advantage of simplicity of the people. Witch hunting is still in practice in some of the villages. When any women is called witch by the community members, very often either they are killed or tortured. Due to fear of the community they leave the village and migrate to big cities and in the process they are trafficked. In a family if the parents are alcoholic children do not feel secured. It is seen that the children of alcoholic parents become victims if traffickers very easily.

CASE STUDY
NAME: BIMLA DOM AGE: 17 YRS FATHER: RUPSAI RAM MOTHER: RUPMANI BAI VILL: KASTURA BAJARTOLI PANCHAYAT: KASTURA P.S: DULDULA
In the month of MAY 2014 BIMLA went to NEW DELHI with SHANKAR DOM who is a resident of KINMIRA, JHARKHAND. Shankar is related with bimla as Nephew from her maternal side. Her father Rupsai Ram went to Shankar’s place at kinmira after getting the knowledge of her absence, and demanded for her enquiry from shankar’s elder brother whose in- laws are from Kastura itself. He was suspicious about her departure without informing her parents. After this event Shankar’s elder brother went to Delhi and returned back with Shankar. He then told Bimla’s parents Rupsai & Rupmani that Bimla doesnot want to come back therefore they i.e Shankar & his brother came back leaving her in Delhi. She has started working as a house maid and will return after 3-4 months. Then her father demanded for the Mobile No. of the persons’ with whome she is staying but they denied saying they don’t have it with them.
When being informed of the situation the members of JJVS went to Bimla’s home and enquired from her parents about her well being. On enquiring 5-6 times for several days they could not get the satisfactory information about her. Finally they planned to lodge a FIR in the police station DULDULA.
In the mean time the resources from JJVS were able to contact Bimla and found out that Bimla’s father was an alcoholic and used to abuse her and they were facing severe financial problems. Due to this she decided to leave home. After the discussion with the members of JJVS MADHU, MAMTA & PRADEEP who went to Delhi to meet her , Bimla came back on 25/11/2014. The members of JJVS had a meeting with Bimla’s parents along with her. Their she expressed her desire to continue her studies.
The principal of Kastura High School , Firma Tirkey was contacted from the members of JJVS for the readmission of Bimla, the Principal & Management staff of the school stated that they are unable to take her back because of the mid academic session & Education Officer’s pressure for going against the rules .
They also informed that Bimla was not attentive in school earlier when she was studying there, they however wanted to keep her irrespective to her problems, they have made an arrangement for her in which she had to study & work at free time at staffs home to overcome financial needs.
JJVS GHOLENG, C.G Page 16

An unpropitious village – Jharhapath. Case of Missing Children
Jharhapath village under Gajma Panchayat of Jashpur District Chhattisgarh is a remote village situated at the border of Chattisgarh and Jharkhand. It is place which tells the story of poverty and unemployment, being located geographically at the border of two states i.e Chhattisgarh & Jharkhand, has been a stronghold of antisocial, miscreants. The unpropitious situation of unemployment, Poverty and lack of awareness of Govt. Upliftment Plans for them, led to the trafficking of 17 minor children’s, 11 Girl and 7 Boys of the village. Who all have turned into Adults as in the current date, and have been working at various metro cities of India. Their families, when enquired about their whereabouts, does not have any clear knowledge, rather they are not much bothered. The positive is that they are in contact with their children through telephones & are provided with finances from them. Hence they don’t inform the Police or Panchayat about their departure.
Jharhapath is an abode for 41 families from Asur Munda and Bhainhar Tribes, out of 41 families 18 families are such whose Child either girl or boy has been truant since last 6 years. They were lured by the glamour of Big Cities & Good income and made victim of trafficking. Matter in fact they are forced to work as House Maid or laborers for mere 5000 – 10000 INR per month, and often have been abused or manhandled. The family members of the 11 Girls tells when they left the village they were studying at 7th and 8th Classes. On questioning for why have they allowed their childrens to go with strangers, they cried for their helplessness saying agriculture sustains them for 6 months only, they have to accept the fate for survival .
A girl from the same village is missing since 5years, according to her Mother Sohri Bai, she was studying in class 9th, when a resident of the same village, Jharhapath, took her with him by tempting her of a good life & money without any knowledge of her family .Shohri Bai tells that she was unable to trace her daughter since then.
When this case came into notice of Ms Mamta Kujur of JJVS, she elucidated the situation to Sohri Bai and convinced her to go to police; eventually Sohri Bai lodged a complaint at the Asta Police Station, Jashpur.
According to Ms Mamta Kujur, JJVS – The survey conducted by the members of JJVS has shown some astounding inferences, All 17 of them, 11 Girl & 7 Boy, left the village at the minor
JJVS GHOLENG, C.G Page 17
ages, and are Adults now. The lack of basic infrastructure and livelihood measures, are thwarting them from coming back to their village. This scenario can be seen in many other villages too, which are located in the remotes of Jashpur District. Circumstances are such earlier people of Placement Agencies from Jharkhand used to come and take the villagers to Metro Cities, the Irony is now the villagers once trafficked are working as an agent and taking other villagers with them to Big Cities. A girl from the same village Jarhapath is working in Haryana, she took her younger sister, who was studying in class 10th, with her in the month of May 2016, with the efforts of the members from JJVS, her Mother & Brother had left for Haryana to get her back. This entire case shows how this problem has been turning out to be a greater threat, and entire village is getting into these Placement Agencies’s clutches.
The Govt. need to understand the situation and develop the grass root infrastructures to aid the villagers, As one of the villagers stated “ Agriculture provides them for only 3-4 months, many years ago a Pond was constructed under MANAREGA scheme, there has been no development since then”. The Police can also form a strategy with the alliance of Jharkhand Police for vigilance & prevention of Trafficking.

The workshop began with introduction of the participants and expectations from the workshops. Since most of the participants belonged from the village working with the grass root level communities had been participating first time in such kind of workshop had no Idea about the workshop. Hence they were very much enthusiastic to know about the subject matter.
Sharing of Objectives of the Workshop: One of the forum member shared about the purpose and objectives of the workshop. That was:-
To identify major challenges and gaps in the existing legislation and policies hence capacitating tribal people to understand in the context of our work for the communities. To understand and PESA Guidelines and discus among the people to define their communities priorities in relation to the governance of tenure and explore practical actions to implement the guidelines to strengthen the recognition and protection of their tenure right and customary tenure system.
After that the resource person was welcomed to facilitate the sessions. First of all he share briefly about the national and state level laws and policies which are implemented to ensure the rights of the tribal people specially in the state of chhattisgah , he also specifically explained about the governments poorly implementations of the acts and policies which have been enacted by the central govt. and due to it how the tribal people of the states are being deprived of their rights, specially of right of land and natural resources which are available in the states.
Further he explained about the objectives one by one what generally this guideline seeks they are:-
Improve tenure governance by providing guidance and information on internationally accepted practices for system that deal with the right to use, manage and control land, fisheries and forest. Contribute to the improvement and development of the policy, legal and organizational frameworks regulating the range of tenure rights that exist over these resources. Enhance the transparency and improve the functioning of the tenure system. Strengthen the capacities and operations of implementing agencies, judicial authorities, local governments, organizations of farmers and small scale producers, of fisheries, and of forest users, pastoralists, indigenous peoples and other communities, civil society, private sector, academia, and all persons concerned with tenure governance aw well as to promote the cooperation between the actors mentioned.
Group work and discussions were held after going through the objectives. During the group discussions the major topics discussed were what are the major problems faced during the implementation of the work in the communities or what are the aspects that community members know about their rights as well as to what extent the Govt. supports are extended to access those rights. After group discussions the following major issues were highlighted they are:
JJVS GHOLENG, C.G Page 24
Due to lack of proper implementation of the provisions of various acts and policies community members are being deprived of their rights. Forest rights are not implemented properly hence most of the tribal families who are the inhabitants from decade are deprived of their entitlement. Gram Sabhas are not strengthened hence the community participation in the decision making is very poor. It is still seen in the village that tribal people are being dominated while taking such decisions. PESA Act is poorly implemented in the tribal area so self governance practices by the tribal community are either diluted or being dominated. Community member lack awareness on various acts and policies hence unable to raise their voices. Indifferent attitudes and behaviours towards tribal is seen clearly by the Govt. officials.
Further it was discussed that having all the above issues what are the major programs/ activities are going on in the community to get their rights? The participants shared that:
- Constant efforts are being made for the Individual and Community Forest Right entitlement in some of the blocks we have succeeded in getting individual forest Right entitlement. - Community leaders are being made aware and capacitated on the various provisions of FRA and PESA. - Community members of Balrampur District have constantly opposing against the development of elephant corridors in the sanctuary. - In most of the villages forest lands have been converted into Revenue land and entitlement has been given to communities. - Strengthening Gram Sabhas( Village level meeting) on the various provisions of PESA act. - Struggles have been going on against mining, displacement, compensation and settlement in some of the area of Surguja Division.

The resource person facilitated to share the status and situation related to tribal communities, self governance, implementation of the policies and acts and the schemes: below given is the outcome of the sharing:
Traditionally the concept of the self governance is understood by the community but it is not in functions. Though it is a scheduled area but laws and policies are not implemented properly.

Local authorities, e.i. district level officers are not very much supportive with regard to implementation of PESA, Forest Right Act. The Govt. system and team are irresponsible towards the development works. Political pressure is more and always dominating the tribal communities, Illegal encroachment of lands by other powerful communities. Communities are being migrated for various reasons. Mining is going on rapidly in the area hence displacement, resettlement are major problems in the districts of Surguja, Surajpur etc. Lack of caste certificate of tribal communities specially of PVTG, are not getting Govt. Jobs. Along with their identity is being lost. Leadership among the tribal is not very much strong, hence they are still being dominated by the other communities. Govt. welfare schemes are not implemented properly in the area hence most of the eligible persons are bei g deprived of it. Trafficking in person cases are also seen specially of tribal girls and boys in the area
Major strategies which came out during the workshop for future action were:
District and state level advocacy/ discussions on the Proper implementation of FRA & PESA Empowering of Gram Sabha and increase the active participation of women in the Gram Sabha and decision making process. Strengthening CBOs to minimize the trafficking and to monitor the effective implementation of the Govt. Schemes. Increase the creation of assets under MGNREGA activities. Increase the women membership in the Forum.
